Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 246 Relatives in the Northeast

Seeing that I was leaving, An An immediately said hesitantly, "Brother Chen, I have something to ask you."

I probably guessed that An An would ask me something, so I said bluntly, "Say it."

An An said: "I also know that this request is a bit excessive, but he is my younger brother after all. I would like to ask you if you can arrange for my younger brother to go to your company. He was not sensible before, so don't bother with him."

I said, "I've forgotten about the past. Annan came to see me, and I rejected him. It's not because of the past. I don't need a salesman at all. When I need it, I will sell him." I will find him." But I thought in my heart, if I dare to use this kind of person, how stupid am I?Not everyone has the ability to let bygones be bygones.

An An nodded with satisfaction.

Sitting on the plane to Changchun, I felt a lot better. The main reason is that I sealed up the memories and was mentioned again, but it was not as uncomfortable as I expected. The road was chosen by myself. No wonder.

After getting off the plane, I saw my sister and brother-in-law holding a sign from a distance, which said: "Welcome Chen Fei to grow up."

My brother-in-law took my luggage enthusiastically, and my sister took my hand and said, "Now the family is together again."

I hummed, and then I saw a sign of Jilin Business School, which was also here to pick up the plane. I walked over and asked, "Excuse me, are you picking up students from the business school?" One of the receptionists looked at me and said : "Yes, what's your name?"

After I said my name, the man looked it up on the watch and said to me enthusiastically: "Welcome to Jilin Business School. Come here."

I told him, "Thank you, but I won't go back with you today. I have relatives here in Changchun. I'll report when school starts."

The man hesitated for a while and said, "Student, don't miss the registration time. I'll write you the location, remember to report on time!"

I nodded my thanks.

When I got into my brother-in-law's Jetta, my brother-in-law said shyly, "The car is broken, don't mind."

I hurriedly said: "My family, how do you say this." My sister blamed me from the side: "It's useless to deal with it, you are so stupid, you were told to buy better ones at the time, but you didn't listen, and now you feel ashamed. "

When I heard this, my face turned green, and my sister's words were too annoying, so I hurriedly said to my brother-in-law: "The car is just a means of transportation, as long as it can walk, don't listen to my sister, she doesn't understand. "

My brother-in-law smirked and said, "I don't care. This Jetta is a road bully. It is strong, durable, and cheap to maintain. It is produced by our FAW-Volkswagen. It is full of streets. There are fewer in the south, but it is everywhere in the north. Both."

I nodded and said, "Yes, the most important thing about a car is its practicality."

Looking out of the window, the city is completely different from what I remember. Although there are many dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street, it is indeed inferior to the emerging cities, but there are still many brilliance The buildings and roads are also very wide.Pedestrians are in a hurry and there are people everywhere. The motorcycles on the street echo the bicycles. It can be regarded as a scenic spot. Motorcycles have long been banned in Zhuhai.

After all, this is a provincial capital city with a permanent population of 700 million. It has well-known enterprises in the country, Changchun No. [-] Automobile Factory, and Changchun Film Studio, the cradle of movies, because Changchun was once called Eastern Hollywood. .

This city is a typical heavy industrial city. The streets are clean and there is no rubbish, but the sky is full of dust and the air is a bit cloudy. Many people wear masks on the street. I asked my sister: "Is the air index in Changchun right?" Very bad, when I got off the plane, I breathed like I ate a mouthful of sand."

My sister hummed and said: "It's not good. It's mainly a heavy industrial city, and there are big chimneys everywhere. In the past two years, the environmental protection has been a little stricter, and it has improved a lot. It was only serious a few years ago. You can't get out without wearing a mask." Door."

I looked at the passers-by on the street and said, "Big cities are different. The streets are full of people. Compared with here, Zhuhai is much deserted."

The brother-in-law said: "Yes, we can't do anything else here. Compared with the large number of people, it is still ranked high. The main reason is that Changchun is a humane city. It has been rated as the happiest city for many years. People who live here Everyone has a sense of belonging.”

I think this is a sense of pride that Changchun people have for their city.

But my sister retorted: "Changchun has suffered a severe brain drain in the past few years. Many people have finished their studies and never come back after graduation. The main reason is that the economic development is too slow. Most of the enterprises here are state-owned enterprises, and they are not enterprising. , The inherent way of thinking of the iron rice bowl makes these companies no longer competitive. In the past, if you want to enter these companies, you have to ask your grandpa to tell your grandma, use connections, and give gifts. Now it is difficult to recruit people. The main reason is that Changchun is aging seriously. The young people are all gone, and there are only a bunch of retired old men and women left, how do you say how to develop."

I think my sister told me why this city is developing so slowly and fatally - not making progress.

When I arrived at my sister's house, there was already a large group of people waiting for me to come back.

My mother's sisters are all here.My mother is the second child. The older sister is married to Sichuan, and there are three younger sisters and two younger brothers. It is a huge family.

When I saw people, I was a little confused. When I left, I was too young to remember who was who.My sister introduced from the side: "This is the third aunt, this is the fourth aunt, this is the old aunt, this is the uncle, this is the old uncle."

Then the third aunt came over and took my hand and said, "Xiaofei, when you left, it was only a little bit. After a few decades, you have grown into a young man."

The old aunt interjected: "You don't even know us, do you? I'm your old aunt."

Then everyone started chatting about the situation when they left.

People from the Northeast are familiar with each other, and with our relatives, we quickly became acquainted. I answered everyone’s questions politely. I found that my brother-in-law is very popular in the family, and everyone came to talk to him. , no matter who talks to him, he is very sincere and kind.

In order to celebrate my return, everyone decided to make dumplings. Making dumplings is the best etiquette for entertaining guests from afar. There are many people and strength. A table of dumplings will be ready soon. I am a little hungry and I am ready to move my chopsticks. Seeing that no one was moving, my sister explained: "Wait a minute, someone will come later, he just got off work and rushed here."

I said oh, thinking about some important person, I want my family to wait.

Aunt San explained: "It's my Wen Jing's boyfriend, who is now working as a manager at FAW Toyota."

I hummed and said, "Ah, Wen Jing already has a boyfriend, and being a manager at FAW Toyota is amazing."

The third aunt said proudly: "Yes, if you are very capable, it will be very difficult to get in."

The old aunt echoed: "He is the one who worries about many things at home."

As he said that, the doorbell rang, and a middle-aged man with a bald head, a thin body, but a big stomach, walked in with a bag in his hand.

Seeing me, he shook hands with me enthusiastically and said, "Brother, you have come back. You have worked hard all the way. My surname is Wei, and my name is Wei Chengshi. You can call me Xiaowei."

I'm not used to this cry, he's obviously much older than me.

But I immediately showed a professional smile and said: "If you don't work hard, then I will not be polite, and I will call you Xiaowei directly."

At this time, Xiao Wei took out a name tag from his bag, handed it to me and said, "This is my business card."

I looked at the title on the business card: FAW Toyota Sales Manager.

Mang pretended to be very surprised and said: "Wow, amazing, FAW Toyota is a big company, not anyone can get in if they want to."

Xiao Wei was very proud, but on the surface he said: "What's so great, I'm just a part-time worker, brother, do you have a business card?"

It's actually quite rude to ask someone like this, but I still have to answer: "Yes, it's in the suitcase, I'll get it."

I thought that he would let me forget it, no need to take it, who knew that he had no intention of forgetting it at all, just stood there and waited.

I had no choice but to open the suitcase and find the business card after searching for a long time. The name card said: Wanzhong Group Small Appliances-Fade Chen.It's really simple inside.I made them do it, so keep it low.

Xiao Wei took the business card and asked: "Brother, you are in the crowd, you are the best. Can you usually see Mr. Dong?"

I nodded and said, "I can see her occasionally, why do you know her too?"

Xiao Wei shook his head and said: "I know her, but she doesn't know me. She has been on TV many times. She came to FAW-Volkswagen to sign a strategic cooperation with us. I have seen her demeanor."

I really didn't know that Dong Zong is so famous, and there are so many admirers in the far north. I smiled and said, "She seems to be planning to publish a book. When the time comes, I will give you a signed book."

Xiao Wei said with half-belief, "That's good."

My third aunt's daughter, that is, my cousin Wen Jing, said to Xiao Wei: "You can do it! Put away your face in the company, this is my brother, don't use those empty-headed people , stay aside!"

Domineering, very domineering, it seems that these female generals in my family are as strong as my sister.

Wen Jing smiled and said to me: "Brother, how long will you stay this time? Wait two days to live at my house. You have to take turns staying at these aunts' houses."

I hummed and said, "I came back this time to study, so I guess I can live in school. I'll go to your house as soon as I have time."

Talking, a large table of dishes has been served, most of them are Northeast dishes, ground three delicacies, pot-wrapped meat, stewed potatoes with beans, jelly skin, big peeled skin, cold dishes, sauerkraut blood sausage, it looks very appetizing .My brother-in-law came out of the kitchen and asked me, "Xiao Fei, is it beer or beer?"

I casually replied: "It's fine."
